What people are saying about Alchemists of Time at Amazon:

"Sam Salt has done his research into both the scientific and linguistic features of this story. Anyone who enjoyed the idea behind Life on Mars will really enjoy this book."

"I like the idea of all groups being slightly at odds with their own conventions, and in social terms the acknowledgment of that IS alchemy. It's the second of Sam's books, and his style of writing pulls you into the next page."

Alchemists of Time was meant to be a standalone book. However, it became clear to me that I had a lot more to say about my characters and what happens to them. I'm currently working on the sequel to Daughters of Derby but I will be returning to the 1960s and 1860s.
